Six Shows I'll be watching This Fall

It's September, and that means it's time to answer the immortal question: What should I watch on television?  TV Guide presented a comprehensive list of new, and returning shows.  I've picked out some of my highlights.

1.    Agents of Shield:
Premise: From This is what happened after the Avengers.
Airing: Tuesdays at 8 on CTV

I'm looking forward to this because: Of two words: Joss Whedon.  If you haven't heard of him, check out Buffy The Vampire Slayer, that should tell you why he's so great.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Crossing Lines:

Premise:  Crime fighting with an international twist: a team of agents representing the International Criminal Court (ICC) solve crimes others can't.

Airing: Tuesdays at 9 beginning October 2, on CBC

I'm looking forward to it because... Of 2 words: "Donald Sutherland."  He plays the team leader Michael Dorn.

 

 

 

3. Sleepy Hollow:

Premise: It brings the old tale forward to 2013, literally immortalizing Ichabod Crane and his headless quarry. 

Airing: Mondays at 9pm on Fox

Looking forward to this because... It just looks interesting

 



 

4. The Originals:

Premise: A "Vampire Diaries" spin-off featuring Klaus (Joseph Morgan), as he takes his act to New Orleans

Airing: Thursday's at 9 on the CW.  Haven't seen an air time/ channel for it in Canada yet, but I'm sure eventually there will be one.

Looking forward to it because... of the eye candy.   Also if you've loved the Vampire Diaries you'll love this one.

 

 

 

5. Reign

Premise: What happens when Mary, Queen of Scots heads to France for a diplomatic marriage? lots of intrigue, love triangles, and castle mysteries

Airing: Thursdays at 9pm on CTV2

Looking forward to this because:  I'm a history buff, and you don't see very much of this period from Mary's perspective. 

 

 

6. Dracula

Premise: Bram Stoker's immortal vampire is back, and out for revenge.  This time  he's working  with the mysterious Order of the Dragon impersonating an American businessman in London. 

Airing: Fridays at 10pm on NBC, and Global

Looking forward to this because... of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, who was previously seen on television as King Henry VIII in the Tudors, which he was great in. I'm sure he'll have his own take on Dracula.  I'm a little worried about this one because it is on NBC; they have this awful habit of pulling their shows just as I'm getting into it.  I hope they give this one a chance.
